I am speaking about stress on the bottom vs the top.   If you found a way I am more then willing to concede.

Don't sigh.   Just talking theory.   I am sure with a snapped base or whatever problem you had, you are worked toward correcting it.

As did I with alot of preliminary screwups.

Yep, I understand what you mean, but for me the stress was not a problem because I mounted my handles much lower on the shaft than the Happ sticks are.  So there is less leverage.  It may not work well for people who really punish their controls but I'm not that rough when I play, so for me a plastic base works out pretty good.  I promise I'll post something on that soon, right now I'm kind of busy between work, taking orders, and fixing up my cabinet.

 A: They are only a Bear to Start activation,  yet fairly effortless to re-bounce.

 B: Want to bet?   Ive attained and passed that level at my friends Tron which has the
original leafs on it.     A game is designed around its controls, and so even if you
didnt believe me (and were not enthusiastic enough to ask other classic game
players)    one can easily deduce logically that a programmer will not make a
game impossible to pass a certain level due to not physically being able to
fire fast enough.

 You assume wrong.

 I have BOTH Leafs and Micros.   Micros for general games and fighters, and leafs
for rapidfire classics such as Asteroids Deluxe. 


 Id say that out of the two of us..  I am a much better reference for control advice.
Considering that you seem to be on the "Casual Gamer Level".   You have little
experience with these games beyond the 1st few levels... where things are pretty
easy.   Which is why you didnt realize the 3 powerups in Satans Hallow which
increases the fire rate 3 fold - which occurs relatively quickly in the game.  Same for
Tron, which starts to get heavy in the 3rd to 4th rounds in both the spider and
MCP levels. 

 You want to know why I scrapped my massive 6 sided control panel?

 Because I had recently discovered a game I skipped over in my Youth.  Robotron.
Which I quickly found out was near impossible to play well without real wico leaf
8ways.   As well as then learning the Leaf button rapidfire trick, and why they
are superior for certain games.    Because of these discoveries... I realized I could
not be happy with the layouts that I had originally built... and had to re-design
everything from scratch.  (In addition to deciding to make it sit-down as well)

 The Idea here is to promote the possibility of a New product being produced and
sold.

Oh my god, Steve, would you please read before replying.  I'm starting to think you are doing this on purpose now.  I was referring to the new sticks with hard leaf SPRING and microswitch.  Please, for the sake of my sanity, try to keep up.

Some have learned to do well with micros for nearly everything.  You admit to picking and choosing the ones you use to do certain things,  which proves my assumption to be correct.

Uh huh...you got a funny way of trying to get that done...

Just to see what in heck you were talking about, I just played Satan's Hollow up to level 16.  I remain unimpressed.  It takes 3 seconds for the missiles to get to the top of the screen.....

Satan's Hollow is more about timing of your shots than laying down massive fire power.  Perhaps you should re-aquaint yourself with it?

Why not just ASK and skip all the extra  :blah:?  Ripping someone's choice of materials in an existing product and then expecting them to design something to your specs is just kinda...  :dunno

I ask again: what company is a good source of leaf switches that will fit this stick?
